PHILADELPHIA | Andre Dillard likely out for the season
Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard suffered a bicep injury during practice on Thursday, and it will require surgery that is likely to keep Dillard out until next season.
Dillard was expected to take over the team's left tackle spot in 2020, but fortunately for the Eagles, they retained veteran offensive tackle Jason Peters this offseason. Peters was expected to move to guard, but Peters might have to step back into his natural position of left tackle with Dillard's injury.
